French President Emmanuel Macron has convened a new defense council at the Élysée Palace to address concerns regarding the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood, referred to as "entrisme". This marks the second such meeting in less than 50 days, following a previous session that was marked by Macron's frustration over the premature leak of a commissioned report on the subject. During the recent council, Macron announced plans to introduce a legislative proposal targeting Islamist "entrisme" with the aim of combating political Islamism within France. The proposed law is expected to be ready by the end of the summer or before the end of the year and will include expanded financial and administrative sanctions to more effectively counteract the Muslim Brotherhood's influence. Macron emphasized the need for more effective obstruction measures and an enlargement of the possibilities for financial penalties. The initiative is framed as a response to a political Islamist drift rather than an attack on Islam or French Muslims. Some political figures have called for stricter enforcement of existing association controls and greater responsibility among French Muslims to organize their religious affairs. The debate continues amid calls for mosque closures and expulsions of hate preachers associated with the Muslim Brotherhood. Macron's move reflects a shift toward taking direct control of the issue after earlier delegating it to the government.
